Superbowl, Twitter, Chips, and David Wygant

David Wygant — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:36:54 +0000

As many of you know, I’m a HUGE football fan. And today, my friends, is the biggest football holiday of them all.

The Superbowl.

Unfortunately, my J.E.T.S. did not make it this year, but as a fan of the game––I’ll still be watching; rooting against the ________s.

Obi said I should engage with you all while I’m sitting back with the chips and guacamole. So…I’ll do something new and tweetcast all my irreverent thoughts throughout the Superbowl! (I know, I’m so 2012.) Follow me @Davidwygant to get all the latest tweets.

If you’ve never had a coaching session, or been to any of the bootcamps, this may be your chance to get some one-on-one time with me––as much as you can fit in 140 characters! I’ll be tweeting and responding to tweets all day using the hashtag #WygantSB. (Make sure to tag your tweets with #WygantSB if you’re going to join the conversation.)

Football and dating. My two favorite topics.

Let’s tweet, tweeps.

The Key to Success with Women and Life

Life is all about repetition. It’s about becoming great at something through repetition.

So it’s the middle of the week. I love the middle of the week because it gives us an opportunity to look at the first couple days and see what we can do better, then go and kick ass for the rest of the week.

There were some of the best play off games ever this past Sunday. What kind of chatter do you think is going through Billy Cundiff’s head? You guys think you have issues. You look at a woman and you can’t walk up to her. Imagine right now being Bill Cundiff of the Baltimore Ravens and hooking a 30 yard field goal and giving the Patriots the Super Bowl. Imagine being Lee Evans and dropping a sure-fire touchdown pass, directly in your hands. Dropping the ball to the ground because you weren’t focused in the end zone. Imagine being him.

Don’t you think he’s got a lot of monkey chatter going on in his head?

Now I want to fast forward to your life. Life is about repetition and believing in yourself. Here’s the deal guys: you’re not playing in front of 70,000 people. There are not 70,000 fans whose heart you might be breaking when you drop a pass or hook a field goal.

Let’s put it in pick up terms: when you approach a woman and you hook your words and you don’t go anywhere with them. The reason why you’re hooking your words, the reason why you’re dropping the easy ones, is because you’re not going out and doing the work every single day. In order to become amazing at meeting women, you need to go out every single day.

It’s hump day fellas. Set an intent. Set a goal. Write down: I’m going to approach 15 women per day for the next seven days. I guarantee you that if you do that and you check back the following week, things are going to be a lot better for you.

Life is about repetition, and in order to become good at something, you’ve got to practice, practice, practice. So get out there and practice.

. . .

PS. Don’t look at practice the way Allen Iverson does.

PSS. All jokes aside, do you go out there and play every ‘game’ like it’s your last? Food for thought…

What Risks Do You Take?

David Wygant — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:28:29 +0000

Today I want to find out: what is the riskiest thing you’ve done this week?

Forget about it – this week is too easy. What is the riskiest thing you’ve done TODAY?

Everyday you should be taking a risk. I don’t care if it’s a risk at work or if it’s a personal risk; you’re not going to advance if you don’t take risks.

Life is about taking chances and taking risks. The most successful people in the world are risk-takers. They don’t play it safe.

So today, at work, what risk did you take to further your career? In your personal life, what risk did you take today to further your development in meeting people of the opposite sex? For those of you in a relationship, what risk did you take with your partner today to make that relationship even better?

We all dream about winning the Superbowl or climbing Mt. Everest. But in reality, you’ll only be able to achieve your dreams by taking small risks every single day.

Share with me your risks. For some of you, making a comment on this blog might be the risk you take today!

Pushing Boundaries

Let’s talk about pushing boundaries.

Many of you are your own worst coach. I’m a great self-coach. I can coach the hell out of myself and I can push my own boundaries every single day.

Why? Because I coach everyone else for a living! I’m able to recognize my own weaknesses and accept them – and I can recognize that small gains are the way that you push your own boundaries.

Often times I hear men say, “tonight I’m going to go out and I’m going to get three phone numbers.” You haven’t gotten three phone numbers this whole entire year, but tonight you’re going to go out and get three phone numbers in one night? How?

That’s not pushing your boundaries – that’s just trying to be Aaron Rogers and take the Packers to the championship game without ever having thrown a pass. (You can see how I feel about the Brett Favre situation – and no, I’m not a Packers fan, and I think that they are ridiculous – what a battle of egos that is! Let the guy come back and play – he threw 28 touchdown passes this year! Good luck, Aaron Rogers, you’re not going to get more than 17…)

Or it’s like you’re a light-hitting shortstop who has hit one home run the entire season, but you decide tonight that you’re going out there and hitting three. That’s not pushing your boundaries – that’s just not recognizing small victories and gains and accepting them. That’s just being ridiculous.

So how do you push your own boundaries? If you go out there, and you say to yourself, “I haven’t had a conversation with someone of the opposite sex that has lasted longer than 15 seconds,” then to push your boundaries, you need to have a conversation that lasts 20 seconds. The next day: 25 seconds. The day after that: 30 seconds.

You need to push your boundaries and accept the small victories every single day. It’s not about becoming something that you aren’t overnight – it takes a long time to become that powerful, dynamic, social person. It takes a lot of time to become a great conversationalist.

So make a list of the things that you want to accomplish, go out there and accept the small victories. The small victories are what are really important.

Don’t try to win the Superbowl in one night. There is a reason why NFL players are in training camp right now. Why? To practice all of the little things so that they are able to succeed on Sundays.

You can’t beat the odds of life, guys – you just can’t. In life, everything takes practice, hard work, self-motivation and every once in a while, a kick in the ass.

Consider me that kick in the ass. For those of you that have never listened to my products, I really suggest my Men’s Mastery Series or Women’s Mastery Series – that is almost 13 hours of me kicking your ass the whole time. When you need a little extra push, I’m there to give it to you.

And for those of you who don’t want to reach into your pockets and buy anything, that’s fine. Come back each day and read the blog, and I will give you daily doses of ass-kicking that will help you realize that life is not a sprint – it’s a marathon!
Seattle Bootcamp is kicking into high gear. I love this city and this is an amazing group of guys.

Today we talk all about how to strike up a conversation by the bathrooms.
